The good :B results of such a policy have been raised continuously in the press of the belligerent countries, and are cit- : cd in America by prohibition advocates to explain the great strides of the "dry" movement in the Lnited " I States during the past two years. i$ To get a true conception of what citizens of the "drv" states have experienced under prohibition law, THE LITERARY DIGEST made a strictly impailial "inquiry in all the states that have had prohibi- j . tion laws of one kind or another in operation for not less than one year. Two questions were asked of !the representatives of public opinion in these commonwealths the editors of the press: First, 'Whether in Their State Prohibition Is a Success? Second, Whether They "Would Recommend It to Other States? i From nineteen states 157 replies have been received. 1 In THE LITERARY DIGEST for May 26th, the result of this nation-wide canvass is shown. This J is the first non-partisan investigation of the kind ever made. The result is most illuminating, and will interest every one, from brewers to bishops.
